Too Beautiful

What kind of man

lays his hands on the woman

he loves.

Calls her angel

and shows no remorse

and the blood.

He covers her body

in bruises and scars.

You don't understand

just how beautiful you are.

You are too beautiful.

Your heart

it wants something more.

Those shades of blue

on that face

you always hide

that smile that beats in your chest.

When he's done with her beating

he just stands aside

wipes the sweat from his brow

and yells over her cries.

You don't know what

I've been through

he yells and he says

You don't know what I've done for you

And hits her again.

You are too beautiful.

Your heart

it wants something more.

Those shades of blue

on that face

you always hide

that smile that beats in your chest.

And she stands in the mirror.

She looks less alive.

She lifts up her shirt

to see she has five

branded fingers on her side.

She's feeling it all now,

but she doesn't cry

she doesn't cry

You are too beautiful.

Your heart

it wants something more.

Those shades of blue

on that face

you always hide

that smile that beats in your chest.
